Just been watching the news about Biden's memory. He really needs to step down IMHO.

It’s scary and also some of the decisions he’s taken during his mandate. But also seems like trump is going to be his opponent.. they’re awful both of them!

He was elected by millions of people and has done a perfectly good job...

I do think his second aim should have been to nurse the next Democratic candidate (the first being to stabilise and reassure the country after the insanity of the attempt to overthrow the election). Unfortunately he's doing a Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He's still a better option than the orange one.

Biden or Trump - what a choice…
Almost makes you think we’re lucky to have Sunak and Starmer!

Trump for President ! 🎉
I am a Trump supporter

Article from the BBC about this below - frankly, I'm just surprised the report was allowed to see the light of day

"Even as Mr Biden sought to rebut reporters' questions about his age and mental acuity, he inadvertently referred to Egyptian leader Abdul Fattah al-Sisi as the "president of Mexico"

Oh dear ...

Biden speaking at the White House

'My memory is fine' - Biden hits back at special counsel

The president rejects findings he disclosed classified material and denies he forgot when his son died.

I think it’s obvious that he is past his best, unfortunately.

All those millions of Americans, and Trump and Biden are the only viable candidates?

Y'all need better news sources, AND better critical thinking.

Y'all are already FAR behind, with pandemic response and Brexit... but, sure, lets see how that plays out. :)

Sadly his mental ability does seem to be declining rapidly and he does need to under go cognitive testing. The confusion and memory loss is now very apparent.

MandyMotherOfBrian · 09/02/2024 22:51

Oh, was just about to warn you the pro Biden contingent would soon be awake and here to cheer lead, but I see they’ve arrived. LMAO, as they say….

VeryQuaintIrene · 09/02/2024 22:53

Yes, he's far too old to be president - it drives me mad when these vain old people think they are indispensable and won't step out of the way in time (Ruth Bader Ginsburg was another such - should have stepped down from the Supreme Court while Obama was still in power) - but at least he's a decent human being without 90-some criminal indictments

He has sadly deteriorated significantly. It is a shame that Kamala Harris hasn’t stepped in and insisted he be assessed for fitness in office.

Biden has been referred to federal court for complicity in genocide.

The ICJ could well refer him and Nethanyu to the ICC too. Then he might be just like Putin with an ICC arrest warrant on his head.

The stakes could be both political and lega.

PSA: Brits saying "y'all" makes you look like absolute TWATS.

Which is correctly pronounced as "TWAHTS", by people who say "y'all".

It's also "peCAHHN pie", not PEE-can", bless your hearts. :)

um. both brexit and "pandemic response" happened nearly 4 years ago so if anyone's "behind" 😂 what's life like in 2020? tip from the future, maybe start stockpiling toilet roll.....

If it was a one off slip of the tongue nobody would care, it's daily huge errors.
The report says he couldn't say when his own son died, not even to within a few years. He's now saying he didn't answer because he thought it was none of their business, well surely you'd say that then?

You sound very....🙄 I'm searching for a polite word but you turn up on all the Biden threads as his one and only cheerleader...

Itwasmeinthebox · 09/02/2024 23:01

Biden is horrifying, it's like watching a car crash and yes I realise that's possibly inappropriate given his history but it's just dreadful to witness, surely he can't be allowed to continue like this?

I don't think its vanity keeping him there - he's reported to have said he only stood for election to keep Trump out of office. All the other Democrat candidates weren't up to it.

As for Kamala Harris - it's widely acknowledged she's been a dud VP, pretty useless and isn't popular. If she were to run for president against Trump he'd win by a mile.

TIME magazine is now owned by Salesforce, and has abandoned all pretext of impartial reporting.

Netanyahu is despicable, but all the new-to-politics-and-ignorant-of-geopolitics-Hamassholes are WORSE.

This will come to nothing.

Biden may no longer be fit to be president. Trump has never been fit to be president.

Please cite some actual reporting about your erroneous take on Kamala Harris.
